Both Samsung and Google have began offering free phone repairs to healthcare workers and first responders. The two companies have formed a partnership with repair service uBreakiFix, to fix the broken phones of those handling the coronavirus crisis.
Samsung calls this the “Free Repairs for the Frontline” initiative and it will be running through June 30th. Along with repairs, Samsung is offering these same first responders 30% off of any purchase from Samsung.com.
America’s first responders and healthcare workers need to stay connected, perhaps now more than ever. Today, Samsung is proud to announce our Free Repairs for The Frontline initiative, in partnership with uBreakiFix. This program will provide free repair services for Samsung smartphones, including cracked screen and battery replacement, to all first responders and healthcare professionals through June 30. Local heroes including doctors, nurses, hospital workers, EMTs, police officers, and firefighters, with valid ID, are eligible for one free repair for their Samsung smartphone. Eligible first responders and medical professionals can visit any participating uBreakiFix location or mail their phone in for repair.
Google is concurrently running a similar program according to a uBreakiFix press release.
“An emergency responder or healthcare professional with a Google Pixel smartphone can present his or her ID badge at any of uBreakiFix’s more than 500 participating U.S. locations to receive one free repair, regardless of the device model or type of damage,” said the repair company.
Both programs run through June 30 and look to be limited to one free service call per person.
